India issues travel advisory for Pakistan

The Indian Home Ministry has issued an advisory urging its citizens not to travel to Pakistan due to the worsening security situation in the neighboring country.

"The Government of India is of the view that it is not advisable for Indian pilgrims to visit Pakistan in the prevailing situation, when frequent terrorist attacks are taking place in Punjab province of Pakistan, where all Gurudwaras (Sikh temples) are situated. All Indian citizens are asked to avoid undertaking any visit to Pakistan for this purpose till the security situation in Pakistan improves," the Xinhua news agency quoted the advisory issued by the Home Ministry as saying.

A wave of militant attacks in Pakistani cities has killed nearly 200 people in October.

Hundreds of Sikhs cross over into Pakistan on pilgrimage to the birthplace of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, near Lahore.
